5th anniversary - challenge 2

 

 

For our fifth anniversary, we're doing a fun feature with some of our long time subscribers. They'll each be sharing a bit about themselves and what they love about Studio Calico.  We also asked each of them to issue a challenge to our design team - we'd love to see YOU take their challenges as well. Check the bottom of the post for more information! Thank you to these fabulous ladies for taking the time to help us out with our party!!

Say hello to  : Judi (you'll find her on the message boards / gallery as judik - formerly mom2ee)

Her favorite kit : In reality my favorite kit is whichever one I'm working on at the moment. Right now I'm several months behind. But the first one I really had a professed love for was Sherwood Forest. It's the first I used in its entirety. The pinks and browns were perfect. It's the first time I left my comfort and just got creative. With that kit, I discovered the joy of scrapping.

Her favorite SC line : Hmmm...I adore bits and pieces of each. But as a whole, I think Take Note.

Tell us a little bit about you & why you love SC : Me...that's hard cause I hate to talk about myself. I'm a neonatologist by day and 3/4 of the nights a month. I have 2 wonderful girls (a college freshman - UGA in the fall - and a high school junior) and an absolutely wonderful husband. Right now, our lives revolve around dorm decor and sorority rush and being an upperclassman and executive student council. I think everything I do scrap related is to document and remember each stage in life. I realize there is so much I have forgotten. It's really my selfish indulgence. I haven't put picture to paper in over 3 months though. Don't have the time with the whirlwind of other stuff. Hubby is my best friend perfect ying to my yang. He understands my paper addiction. I love SC because we have no lss. I have no place to look at papers and embellishments. I used to order online alot but stopped cause things never looked as I envisioned. Now I just let the SC team take care of me. I have lots of kits waiting to be used but I know I'll get around to it!

Her favorite project made with SC : a page made with Candy Shoppe

Judi's challenge to the design team : Scrap a photo of you (or one of your kids) at five.

Here's what three of our designers did with the challenge :

(Kelly Noel - graduates)

(Nicole Samuels - I heart five)

(Stephanie Dagan - 5 mini album)

We'd love to see YOUR take on Judi's challenge!  Link your project here by July 9th for a chance to win our June kit, SO CAL. We can't wait to see what you make!

Even at 5, my daughter knew that she was in charge! This school picture captured that in charge attitude and was immediately one of my favorite pictures of her.

My daughter just turned 15, so I decided to show a photo of her at ages 5, 10, and 15. And I used the Member Gallery Lift challenge to get me started!

Had these pics of my son from last summer that I have been wanting to scrap. The member blog challenge was a great sketch for them!
